I find this intriguing:

gecko:~# hwclock --show
Mon May  6 08:46:27 2002  -0.994167 seconds
gecko:~# hwclock --systohc
gecko:~# hwclock --show
Mon May  6 08:46:33 2002  -0.999854 seconds

So the hardwareclock is never set.
Which setting in "Character Devices" do I need so hwclock can access
the on-board real-time-clock?

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one
works.
